Eh, the statement was fine, but I'd prefer the inclusion of a section something like,

"The GOP has immersed itself in the promotion of hatred for so long it is actually opposed to loving people marrying each other and living together happily for the rest of their lives. It is so immersed in the promotion of government interference in the personal, private lives of US citizens, that it still lies about healthy children being aborted by healthy moms halfway through labor after a full term pregnancy just so that it can insert its own party apparatchiks into the room with a doctor and a pregnant person who does need or want an abortion. This is a party so devoted to lies that it still defends Colin Powell's falsehoods to this body that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, including thousands of noble US volunteer servicemembers. So I find it no surprise that when they look into the correspondence between a loving father and a troubled child looking to make of himself something better than he has been, they literally cannot recognize love. They cannot recognize generosity. They cannot imagine a helping hand lifting someone up without a corrupt and selfish motivation.

When you listen to the Republicans today, remember that these are people who literally don't know love. I would pity them if the consequences for our nation were not infinitely more disastrous than the consequences that occur when one of its citizens becomes addicted to legal medications or illegal drugs.

If only there were a rehabilitation centre that specialized in addiction to hatred, deceit, and bad faith."

“Mr. Comer, do you think voters should have a problem with the 50% stake in six acres of Kentucky land you bought for $128,000 from Darren Cleary, a major donor to your political campaigns?

And a follow up question. Can you explain how that $128,000 grew in value to $500,000 in a matter of 2 years despite remaining undeveloped?

Oh. One more. Why did you In 2017, transfer this stake to a shell company, Farm Team Properties, that you own with your wife?”

- Me, if I were a reporter in that presser.

Time to start bringing an actual knife to a knife fight. IMO.
